Mini Editorial – Property Grab Appalling – As I READ and listen to the accounts of the (Jones Motor Co. building) controversy, I am appalled at the actions of our elected county officials. Their under-handed, power-happy, vindictive approach does not reflect the opinions of the majority of their constituents. Since when does county government have any business confronting the efforts of an entrepreneur to make an honest living? Maybe it’s time to reconsider the merger of the city and county governments.and send county (officials) to an early retirement. Dennis Mansell – Albuquerque

Downtown Albuquerque is one of the last of the major metropolitan areas to undergo a significant renovation and re-gentrification. As such, it can assimilate the best other markets renovations, while avoiding the costly mistakes made in some markets.
The Government of the City of Albuquerque has decided to take a proactive stance on redeveloping downtown. In the 1980’s and early 1990’s the City of Albuquerque assembled miscellaneous small lots in the downtown area with the intent of assembling these parcels into larger developable tracts of land, or redeveloping smaller pieces into “niche” real estate that serves both the needs of the community and the surrounding neighborhood.

- Albuquerque Police Department – Far NE Heights Substation
What do you do when you have recently foreclosed on a parcel of land that has two different zonings (commercial and parking), is partially encumbered by several different easements, is located close to a strong neighborhood association (who are against developing anything) and is habitated by several hundred ground hogs?Easy – hire Todd Clarke to market the parcel. In less than one year, he sold the parcel for AEGON USA to the City of Albuquerque for the FAR NE Heights substation, at list price. The above is a rendering of the Albuquerque Police Department’s substation that is scheduled to be built this year.
